I could have accepted a 2nd alternate to the Naval Academy, but elected to go through AFROTC. Haven't driven by the USAFA chapel lately, but I think most of it has been torn down to be rebuilt in two or three more years. Beautiful structure, but they never did get the original roof to stop leaking!

Yeah, that's what it was called - alternate. I got alternate for Air Force but did get the appointment for the Naval Academy. Didn't like the Navy back then so didn't pursue it. Same as you, I was in the AFROTC at University of Hawaii. Thinking back, I think they did a really poor job at communication as I never knew what was going on. Nobody ever engaged me to do anything, so I just attended and left. Needless to say, I got bored of it and left to join the Navy of all things.

Apr 3, 1860
On this day in 1860, the Pony Express launched, setting a new standard for delivering mail. Horseback riders left St. Joseph, Missouri, and Sacramento, California, simultaneously to deliver mail across the country. Ten days later, the westbound rider arrived in Sacramento to fanfare and celebration—the Pony Express was now the fastest way to deliver mail across the country. Young men (often under the age of 18) were hired to ride cross-country through unforgiving terrain to safely deliver their cargo. When it was finally retired in October 1861, it had not made a profit. The telegraph became the new standard of communication shortly thereafter, but the Pony Express had made its mark, helping to deliver news of Pres. Abraham Lincoln's election and creating folk heroes like William “Buffalo Bill” Cody.

This in my opinion is one of the best Clint Eastwood films... partly because I'm a jarhead myself. The oneliners are some of the best of all action movies.

No. Sorry, I got that wrong without checking my facts. She became ill on the last episode. She dies during the second season of Archie Bunker's Place.
